Of course I always mean well. Just don’t ask the wife!

40+ years of marriage for us. My wife retired from work 37 years ago when our first son was born. I didn’t know it at the time.....I thought she was just taking time off for the baby. Anyway I’ve always been the only one with an income. I pay all the bills and handle all the finances. Not...

This may just be for the states but I just saw where Amazon has a prime day deal on the Mavic Mini. $399 for the fly more kit. This is for prime members and just for today I think.

Thanks for the advice. I’ve talked myself into keeping both Smart controllers. [emoji3]

About a year ago I took my Mavic 2 pro on a 2 second flight right into the lake I was on. Totally my fault and the only time in 7 years I crashed a drone. I replaced it a month later when I got a good deal on a used Enterprise Zoom. I had kept my Smart controller and extra batteries. I still...

The issue is the enterprise uses the DJI pilot app. The onscreen directions are different. I tried following them only to have it sit until it timed out.

Recently I took my Enterprise out to fly it and I got a notification to calibrate my IMU. Several attempts following the pictures on what position to place the drone led to it just setting at about 95% on the first part. I searched videos but there weren’t any on the enterprise. I did read where...

I’m not sure what Jerry means but I take it that it’s bad. I have the pocket as well as the Pro raw. It’s a good little camera with limitations. Not very good in low light. Decent video but hard for me to frame if not using it with a phone.

Glad you got it back! I wasn’t so lucky!

I would love to participate but I’m just now studying for my part 107 exam. I just purchased the Mavic Enterprise and would love to have some night training. Maybe next time.

The only complaint I encountered was about a year ago I was at a buddies house and three of us were flying our drones. He is on a one acre lot with about a hundred acres of woods behind him. We had been flying for a while when an elderly man drove up and came to talk to us. I’m almost 60 and...

Sorry for your loss! Lost my Mavic 2 Pro and the tip of my thumb! But it was totally my fault!

I’m just mad at myself for not thinking it through. It actually clipped the top edge of my thumb off! Not only was I watching my drone go down into the lake but I was bleeding profusely onto the bow of an all white center console boat. It looked like we had speared a tuna and drug it up on the...

Exactly what happened. I was an idiot! Hindsight I should attempted this from the stern of the boat. Or waited until the boat was stopped! A loose nut on the controller was the issue!

So I’ve been flying drones for over six years now without ever crashing one. I’m usually pretty careful when flying. Three weeks ago I was taking some customers striper fishing on a lake here in Georgia. I had my new Mavic 2 Pro with me and I thought I would fly it over the boat to get some...
